Captain SHAWasked the Secretary of State for Scotland, whether the committee of investigation for Scotland have yet reported on the question of the continuance of the adjustments made in the terms of the Scottish Milk Marketing Scheme (Amendment and Directions) Orders, dated 28th December, 1934; if so, what are the committee's findings; and what is his decision on the questions raised?
§ Sir G. COLLINSThe committee's report has now been received. They find that the provisions in the Orders in question restricting the application of the temporary amendments to the year 1935 are contrary to the interests of the complainants, the East of Scotland Milk Producers' Federation, and are not in the public interest. I propose to take the necessary steps for continuing the adjustments in the scheme for a further period pending the receipt of the report of the Milk Reorganisation Commission for Great Britain, and the consequential action thereon.
